Intermec Shell 4.01 Standard – Startup Manual
IntermecShellisasocalledstartupprogram(alsocalled“autoexec-
file”), i.e. a program that automatically starts running when the
printer is turned on. Intermec Shell helps the operator to choose
between a number of standard or custom-made application pro-
grams and to start certain useful facilities, as listed below.
Application Programs
•LabelShop (WYSIWYG label design program)
•Windows Driver (for printing from Windows programs)
•Fingerprint (for writing your own programs)
•Direct Protocol (easy-to-use slave protocol)
•Line Analyzer (prints all characters received by printer)
• Other application programs in the printer's memory
Other Facilities
• Terminal Setup (remote setup and Shell control)
• Setup Mode (manual setup w. limited options)
• Print Setup (printing setup on label)
• Testfeed (formfeed + auto-adjust of the LSS)
• Test Label (printing of test labels)
• Ser-Com Reset (resetting communication to default )
• Clear RAM Memory (erasing the printer's RAM memory)
• Reboot (restarting the printer)
Therecanbeonestartupfilestoredineachofthefollowingpartsof
theprinter's memory: RAM,ROM,andmemorycards. Ifthereare

following priority:
1. Dos-formatted memory cards (SRAM).
2. Printer's RAM memory.
3. Non DOS-formatted memory cards (SRAM or OTPROM).
4. Printer's ROM memory, e.g. the configuration EPROM's.
This implies that if you e.g. have Intermec Shell stored in the
printer'sconfigurationEPROM'sandinsertamemorycardwith

of the memory card will be used.

USING INTERMEC SHELL
Starting Up with Intermec
Shell Afewsecondsafteryouhaveturnedonthepowertotheprinter,the
countdownmenuof theIntermec Shell programwillbe displayed:
PRINT=SHELL
5 sec. v.4.01
Now you have 5 seconds to enter Intermec Shell by pressing the
<Print> key with the printhead lowered (the printhead should
always be lowered at startup).
Provided you have a working two-way communication with a
terminal program in a host computer, you may – as an alternative
– enter the Terminal Setup by transmitting “TTT” or “ttt” to the
printer. The Terminal Setup is described in a separate chapter later
on.
The lower line keeps you informed how much time you have left.
Should the time run out before you have taken any action to enter
Intermec Shell or the Terminal Setup, the last selected application
in Intermec Shell will be opened. This implies that if you use the
same application all the time, you will only need to turn on the
power, once the application has been selected.
Ifnootherapplicationhasbeenselectedyet,thedefaultchoicewill
be displayed when the countdown is completed, e.g.:
FINGERPRINT
6.13
Thismessage means that you haveentered the immediate mode of
IntermecFingerprint with "uart1:" selectedasstdI/Ochannel(see
Intermec Fingerprint 6.13 manuals).
If you want to enter another application, just turn off and on the
powerandenterIntermecShellbeforethecountdowniscompleted.
If you enter the Intermec Shell from the countdown menus (Head
Down/PressPrint), the Select Application menu will be displayed:
SHELL
SEL. APPLICATION
In this menu, you can choose between three options:
• Go to a stack of menus, where you can select an application
program, by pressing < Print > without lifting the printhead.
• Goto theFacilitiespart ofIntermecShellby liftingtheprinthead
and pressing < Print >.
• StarttheTerminalSetupprogrambytransmitting“TTT”or“ttt”

Refer to the chapter “Line Analyzer” later in this manual.
•Other Application Programs
If the printer contains any other application programs – standard
or custom-made – these will presented as additional options.
When you have selected an application, the printer beeps and the
errorlamps comes on. Thenthe display goes blankas the printer is
restarted. After a short moment, the printer starts up and the
IntermecShellcountdown menus are shownagain. You can either
enter Intermec Shell or ignore the countdown menus and just wait
5 seconds for the selected application to be started.
As long as you do not select another application in Intermec Shell,
the same application will be automatically selected at each power-
up, unless you enter Intermec Shell in the countdown menus.
As an alternative to selecting an application, you can step through
a number of useful facilities:
Setup Mode
The Setup Mode allows you to adjust the Label Stop Sensor (LSS)
and to read the printer's present setup in its display window. For
information on the various setup parameters, please refer to the
Technical Manual for the printer model in question. The Setup
Mode is further described in a separate chapter later on.
Print Setup
The Print Setup option allows you to produce a printout of the
printer's current setup values.
Testfeed
The Testfeed option allows you to feed out one label, ticket, tag or
piece of strip while the printer auto-adjusts its paper feed and label
stop sensor or black mark sensor. It is recommended to perform at
least two Testfeed operations.
Test Label
TheTest Labeloptionallows youtoprinta seriesoffour testlabels
in order to test the printout quality and printhead alignment. The
labels are presented in an infinite loop, so you can print the series
over and over again.

TERMINAL SETUP
TheTerminalSetupprograminIntermecShellallowstheoperator
to control the whole Intermec Shell program remotely from a host
computerorterminalandalsotoreadandchangetheprinter'ssetup.
Obvious prerequisite are that there must be a working two-way
(serial) communication between printer and host, and that the host
runs a suitable communication program (e.g. MS Windows Termi-
nal) that can transmit and receive data in ASCII format, i.e.
printable characters.
You can enter Terminal Setup by transmitting three uppercase or
lowercaseTcharacters(TTTor ttt) while the printer either shows
the Intermec Shell countdown menus or the Select Application
menu.
If this does not work, the communication protocols of the printer
and the host probably do not match, or there is some other
communication error, e.g. a defect communication cable, wrong
portselectedonthehost,orcableconnectedtosomeotherportthan
"uart1:" on the printer1.
You can check the printer's communication setup by entering
IntermecShell and go to the “Facilities”part. There, you will find
a number of options that allow you to read or change the commu-
nication setup of the printer:
•Setup
This option allows you to read the communication setup.
•Print Setup
Here you can print the current setup on one or more labels.
•Ser-Com Reset
Thisoptionallowsyoutoresetthecommunicationparametersfor
allserialcommunicationchannelsontheprintertodefaultvalues.
Afterhaving read the present communicationsetup for "uart1:" on
the printer, change the communication setup of the host according
to the printer's setup.
If this for some reason is impossible, reset the printer's serial
communicationsetup to default bymeansofthe“Ser-ComReset”
option, then change the setup of the host accordingly.
Onceprinterandhosthasbeensetupwiththesamecommunication
parameters,go to the “Select Application” menu anduse the triple
T (TTT/ttt) to start Terminal Setup. There you can change the
printer's setup to the desired protocol. Turn off the printer, change
the setup of the host to the desired protocol, and start up the printer
again. Now the communication should work.
1/. By default, "uart1:" is standard IN/
OUT channel and should be used for
communicationbetweenprinterandhost,
e.g. for running Terminal Setup or for
programming.However,otherportscould
be appointed standard IN and/or OUT
channel by means of the statement
SETSTDIO.RefertotheIntermecFinger-
print manuals for further information.
